Founder, Genealogist, and Researcher
Situated in the West Midlands, I have over 35 years of experience in researching family history. Having traced both my maternal and paternal lines back to the 1600s, I want to inspire others to love genealogy as much as I do, so I have set up Alison Stephens Genealogy to do just that!

Alison Stephens Genealogy offers a warm, friendly, reliable, and professional service fully tailored to your needs and budget, either to those just starting out or to the more experienced genealogist who has simply met with a dead end and needs a new set of eyes to assist.
Researching your family history is a great way to learn about your ancestors including how and where they lived, and a Family History Report also makes a very special gift to give to loved ones. I can help you to uncover your family history either starting from scratch, or with your existing findings.
I use historical records to discover details of a single ancestor or I can compile a complete family pedigree for one or more of your family lines. Whatever the reason, for you or as a perfect gift for a loved one, let me help you to bring your past to life and to find that piece of evidence that verifies a family tale passed down through the ages.

CLIENT TESTIMONIALS
WOW! That's what I would like to start this review with. We engaged the services of Alison Stephens Genealogy at the start of this year to trace my father in law's family history especially his dad's side as he knew very little about them. The end product presented in an exceptional A4 Book has surpassed all expectations in level of detail and content and you can tell it is a genuine passion of Alison's to keep digging and digging until there is nowhere left to dig! We would wholeheartedly recommend Alison for your family history search and we have been so impressed we are already exploring another search. THANK YOU.

Thank you so much Alison, I spoke to you at the family history show and you went above and beyond what I expected and I just want to thank you. Hope to talk to you soon!
Leah Smith, March 2022
The family and I would like to thank Alison for the excellent service provided. Trying ourselves for years and getting nowhere proved costly and frustrating. Finding our family line hundreds of years back was an education and heartwarming. Thanks again Alison, five-star work!

I contacted Alison via the Family History Show as I wanted some help with a brick wall I have in my family tree.
I supplied some information beforehand and asked if Alison could give me some pointers. I had previously attended a similar genealogy show and asked an expert but they hadn't been able to give me anything more useful than a few websites to look at so didn't hold out a great deal of hope. However, Alison was so different.
She was so enthusiastic from the outset and had already begun undertaking some investigation before I spoke to her so knew she was genuinely interested in helping me to find some answers. We explored a few avenues and I was able to ask her if some of my searches might be realistic. She offered some suggestions of how I could extend my research and while we were talking she was conducting searches on the information I was providing.
Alison was more than helpful and offered to look further into my query. I now have a number of avenues to pursue, and whilst I can't claim to have broken down the wall completely, she has certainly helped me to think more laterally about areas I hadn't previously considered.
I would recommend contacting Alison as a credible researcher, she is fully committed to helping you to explore your family history. Thanks for your help.
Marie Bunce, September 2021
I spoke to Alison as part of the 'Consult the Experts' session at the 2021 online Family History Show about my South Wales family research. She was able to give me some excellent pointers to try and knock down a brick wall that was over 15 years old. Alison went out of her way to do some extra research on my family tree for me and whilst my brick wall is not yet demolished, the foundations are wobbling and I would not have been able to do so without her knowledge, passion, and enthusiasm. I now look forward to exploring more of my Glamorganshire roots. Many thanks.
Bev, Manchester, June 2021
I came into contact with Alison in my search for my adopted brother, we were both adopted separately.
Alison has been very helpful as I am a complete novice and found Alison extremely helpful in finding some information that I struggled to find. My search continues but without Alison, I would still be at the beginning. I would have no hesitation in recommending Alison and her professional and sympathetic approach to what can be a very difficult and personal search.
Chris Rogers, June 2021
Update, I'm pleased to report that Chris's brother has now been found, safe and sound, and they are both in regular contact.
Well, what can I say other than “WOW”. Alison was attentive, professional, and friendly, she went above and beyond our expectations for my Mom's surprise 70th Birthday present. From the initial chat of what we wanted to the presentation of the document was fantastic and we would highly recommend Alison to anyone
